Duran Duran Forced to Postpone Entire UK Tour Dates

Duran Duran have postponed the remaining dates of their 'All You Need Is Now' UK tour, after the first seven dates were postponed due to illness to lead singer Simon Le Bon. The entire UK tour will now be rescheduled within the next few days.

The band are now hoping to resume their European leg of their tour in Berlin next Wednesday (June 8th).

Following a consultation with both a vocal coach and his team of ENT specialists today, Duran Duran singer, Simon Le Bon, has been advised that he needs to continue to rest his voice while his laryngeal problems are treated.

In light of this news, Duran Duran have been forced to reschedule the remaining arena dates on their UK tour, slated to have taken place this week in Bournemouth (31st May), Cardiff (1st June), Manchester (3rd June) and Sheffield (4th June).

Devastated by the news that they will not be able to resume the tour as planned on Tuesday, Simon said “I was really hoping that things would have improved enough by today to have allowed us to continue with the tour, but having spent two hours with one of the specialists, I have been advised that I need to hold off for about another week. I know how difficult this has been for all of the fans, as we’ve been postponing shows with very little notice, in the hope each day that the improvement would have been significant enough for me to sing again without risking any long-term damage. I am now focussing on getting back for Berlin – which is on June 8th.”

Fans should hold on to their tickets, as they will be valid for the new dates. Stay with Stereoboard for all the latest news on the Duran Duran UK tour.
